Coachman Amara Door Lock

by Nicole
(Scunthorpe)

We have a Coachman Amara 500/5 year 2004 caravan and we cannot unlock the door. We have tried WD40, heat, prayers and curses, but it will still not unlock. The barrel, turns 90 degrees very loosely, but, there is no sound of movement, and handle only moves a tiny bit.

Help - what else can I try please?



The best thing you can do is to take your caravan to your local dealer and they should be able to open your door. It might be that the barrel has just come loose and needs tightening or you may need a replacement.

We had the same problem with our Amara door lock the first time we went away in it. We took the lock off, cleaned it etc and managed to get it working eventually but it was still unpredictable. As it wasn't a new caravan I contacted Coachman and had to get a new one from our local caravan dealer. I think it cost around £21 which was cheaper than taking it back to where we bought it from in the first place.

I had the same experience recently with my 2010 Coachman Laser, I was on holiday and fortunately watchin TV whilst my wife had been to the shower, on return she tried to open the door with no success, I had no option but to strip the lock to find the mechanism which turns the lock shaft broken, NEW LOCK ASSEMBY REQD!!! £75 which I fitted myself, all ok now, I blame poor quality, I would expect more from a van that costs £25000. Hope this helps.
